Using SPI shortcut as an arduino

Development Boards Arduino

Hi I’m trying to use the SPI shortcut

http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9235

with the arduino bootloader

I burnt the following firmware/fuses on the MCU, but arduino fails to communicate with the bootloader

avrdude -pm328p -cavrispv2 -P/dev/ttyUSB0 -u -Uflash:w:ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega328_pro_8MHz.hex:a -Ulfuse:w:0xff:m -Uhfuse:w:0xde:m -Uefuse:w:0x5:m

The upload was successful, i choose “Arduino Pro 3.3V atmega328” but arduino complains with

Binary sketch size: 1060 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

I guess it has something to do with the reset pin rooting or the fuses.

Anybody knows?

Thank you

Ok now I get it. I didn’t noticed the shorcut was made with a ft245, not your usual usb-serial adapter. Weird choice. Too bad I bought 4 of these, I would suggest a warning on the product description.
